FEAR -> COURAGE IN OPTIONS TRADING

At the beginning of my trading career I was afraid of everything. I was afraid of losing my capital, I won’t be good enough, I can not find the way out, I was afraid of being unsuccessful, I was afraid of failure and that I will get to where 99% of the traders end up… But most of all, I was afraid of how I would do as a full time trader in a market which can be so insane sometimes. My fear helped me in one thing: I was looking for the solution in an insane and fanatic way and I stood up so many times and I kept going until I no longer felt the slaps in my face.

I did not collapse and I did not have fear if something was not the way I had planned. I managed to convert my fears into my advantage. This is a special „science” but I’ll tell you more on that later…

I did not regret neither the days nor the nights to reach my goal and find a system that fits my character and is consistently profitable. Just very few get here because most people lack the force and perseverance. Many people fail even before they can recognize the direction and get started on.

I know so many traders who still work suffering in the workplace instead of being further developed to a professional trader while they have the knowledge and skills to do so. Self-motivation is the key to reach your goals. The only way to convert your fears to courage is that you do things which make you dread. The human nervous system operates in a way that if there is something you have thought so far was impossible to carry out and yet you have done it, then the next question that you ask yourself is „wow, if I were able to do that, what am I still able to do? This is the point where you go on and express your true self. But to do this, you need to leave your comfort zone and get started on at first a scarry way – towards freedom!

You can get real answers only after asking the right questions:

• How many times have you been able to stand up, shake yourself and go on to reach your goal?


• What do you do to motivate yourself on a daily basis and how do you do it to get what you want?


• How regularly do you do things which makes you dread?

Think about the followings:

• What is the reason why, for most people self-motivation is unheard of?


• What is the reason why, most traders never make it profitable?


• What is the reason why, everyone is looking for the solution only on the charts instead of themselves?
